The James Jacobs Civic Engagement Project presents Shoshana Zuboff

As we attempt to grasp the consequences of our digital era, SHOSHANA ZUBOFF’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is “an epoch-defining international bestseller” (Guardian) that “shines a searing light on how this latest revolution is transforming our economy, politics, society—and lives” (Financial Times). In talks drawing from her landmark book—named one of TIME’s 100 Must-Read Books of 2019, and one of The New York Times’ 100 Notable Books of 2019—she outlines the cost of putting a price on private data, and urges leaders to pay attention, resist habituation, and come up with novel responses to a new era.
